I would like to ask whether it is possible to wear a safety belt when working at the liquid chlorine tank truck filling station
Thread Content
Is it necessary to wear a seatbelt at liquid chlorine tanker loading platforms? Can the seatbelt hinder evacuation?
Is the platform equipped with stairs or ladders? If there are fences, then it’s not necessary to wear a safety belt
Do not use seat belts to replace necessary safety devices. As mentioned above, in the absence of proper facilities for quick ascent and descent, seat belts can actually pose a hazard
There is a movable ladder, but it always seems too high when the staff connect things to the vehicle
It depends on the height of the work platform; if it meets or exceeds the standards for working at heights, appropriate safety measures may be necessary.
How to escape promptly in the event of a sudden chlorine leak? After unbuckling the seat belt, the person also died!
It is required to wear a safety harness while working
Article 4.5.4 of the \"General Technical Requirements for Safety Facilities in Chlorine Production from Chlor-alkali Processes\" (T/CCASC 1003-2021): A filling platform shall be provided for filling tank cars; the platform must have at least two escape routes in different directions, and it shall be equipped with safety fences in compliance with the safety requirements for work at heights. It is prohibited to perform loading and unloading operations while wearing a safety belt without using such a platform.
